Members of the board of trustees of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have been involved in a car crash in Abia state, though no deaths have been confirmed.
The president of ASUU, Prof Nasiru Isa Fage, and a member of the union’s board of trustees, Dr Dipo Fashina, were reported by the Nation to have survived the accident, which occurred on the Anyigba–Enugu road in Kogi State.
The leaders of the union, including Prof Suleiman Abdul of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, were on their way to Abia State University, Uturu, for the union’s National Executive Council meeting in Fage’s bus when a commercial vehicle ran into them.
Fage and Fashina escaped unhurt but Prof Suleiman Abdul suffered a dislocation of his shoulder, and has been rushed to an orthopaedic specialist hospital in Abuja.
